The 5 trends of #luxurytravel in 2024 according to Forbes put in parallel with the trips I have planned this year for clients in France : 𝟏. Many trips are organized to #celebrate love, birthdays, graduations, family reunions, and so on. Celebrations are often an opportunity to travel. There has been an increase in family reunion trips since covid in particular. 𝟐. I encourage my travelers to take the time to visit beautiful places during their #travel between two destinations. Like for instance clients traveling from Provence to Bordeaux, stopping off in Montpellier, Carcassonne, Toulouse, and the Périgord, even if it means taking more days to travel, are happy to discover more authentic places in France. 𝟑. Time for visits, but also time for themselves. Travelers are much more interested in days of #relaxation, whether at the beach, trekking in the mountains, yoga on the beach, or just relaxing on a boat along the Canal du Midi. 𝟒. Looking for #unique experiences such as a private hot-air balloon flight, a chic picnic in a secret location closed to the public, a wine tasting in a private vineyard,.. to live a moment out of time. 𝟓. Customers want to stay #longer, with trips ranging from 8 to 20 nights, to take the time to visit more destinations, rest, meet people, and simply enjoy each place and the journey itself. #Luxurytravel #France #Voyage #Travel https://lnkd.in/eaQg5xdK.

Is Lakshadweep ready to become Indian tourism's crown jewel? Given the recent visit by Hon. Prime Minister, we’re all reminded of the divine beauty that exists on our beaches. As travellers seek unique and untouched paradises, Lakshadweep emerges as the ultimate destination. Here's why it's the next big thing:   1.  𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐬: IHCL has just announced 2 mega-projects in Lakshadweep’s Suheli and Kadmat Islands and many more groups are in talks with the authorities over building luxury stays. These properties would include Water Villas, Beach Villas and Rooms. Government-led tourism activities, managed by SPORTS (Society for Promotion of Nature Tourism and Sports), already include an iconic Paradise Island huts project and has now announced another 90-room project under the Smart City Initiative. And this is just the beginning, expect Lakshadweep to have bigger and better hospitality venues than Maldives very soon. 2.   𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: The government is planning to develop a new airfield at the Minicoy Island of Lakshadweep which will be capable of operating both – military as well as commercial aircraft. This will solve the connectivity issues that have long held tourism in the islands back. 3.   𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲: 10 out of 36 islands in Lakshadweep are uninhabited. With pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life, Lakshadweep remains unspoiled by commercial tourism. 4.   𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 : All the islands included in the various tourist packages offer kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, sailboats, windsurfers, snorkel sets, glass-bottomed boats and other facilities to tourists who wish to indulge in water sports in the unpolluted lagoons. Kadmat, Kavaratti and Bangaram have facilities for scuba diving. The coral reefs of Lakshadweep offer a haven for divers and snorkelers, showcasing a kaleidoscope of marine life. So, while none of us ever added Lakshadweep to our travel plans, it’s very possible that soon the entire world will add it to their bucket list. . . . #ExploreIndianIslands #Lakshadweep #IndianBeaches #indianhospitality #indiantourism #Luxurytravel #HolidaywithVoyaah

🌼 What does Hospitality mean to YOU ? 🌻 For most people the word “hospitality” conveys a sense of generous and friendly reception and entertainment of guests, visitors or strangers (Oxford dictionary). In the tourism industry the meaning of the word has undergone a dramatic shift, hospitality mostly means: providing a place to sleep in. However, its original meaning goes beyond accommodation and comes closer to capturing a broad sense of affability and cordiality. The issue is being systematically examined in Marseille by a few hospitality associations ( SCIC Les oiseaux de passage Coopérative Hôtel du Nord Auberges de jeunesse FUAJ ) which track the original meaning of the word. While the hospitality sector expands its market share and reshapes the demographics of tourist destinations, can we consider and say that our cities are welcoming all types of travellers? 🎈 Yesterday we met https://bit.ly/3PJhjFq this proactive network during the Marseille leg of the Change Makers travel ride to Seville. 🎈   Hosted and welcomed in the northern neighbourhoods of the city, #TravaPowa was a first-hand witness of efforts made until now, and those that will follow to renew fair tourism so that it may take into consideration every type of traveller, in every part of the city. So YOU are welcome to share your opinion about what hospitality means for YOU 👇👇
